Server Error 500 When Cloning Over HTTPS with External nginx/passenger

    • Closed Issue created by username-removed-264075 @SpectralCoding

    I'm using the latest GitLab version running with my own nginx and passenger installation. I have the nginx components of GitLab disabled.

    I can browse the web interface completely fine (HTTPS). I was able to create a bunch of public projects and load data via the web interface. When I clone via SSH it works fine. I can also commit.

    When I clone via HTTPS it does NOT work.

    The server responds: HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server Error```

The only content that appears in any logs in ```/var/log/gitlab/``` are my nginx logs which also show the 500 error.

According to "```gitlab-rake gitlab:check```" there are no issues.

Any idea of where I can start troubleshooting? Maybe I can enable additional logging?

Below are the uncommented lines on ```/etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb```:

    external_url 'https://git.redacted.com' gitlab_rails['internal_api_url'] = 'https://git.redacted.com' git_data_dir "/content/git-data" unicorn['enable'] = false web_server['external_users'] = ['nginx'] nginx['enable'] = false ci_nginx['enable'] = false

    
Below is my nginx config:

    upstream gitlab-git-http-server { server unix://var/opt/gitlab/gitlab-git-http-server/socket fail_timeout=0; } server { listen 443; server_name git.redacted.com; server_tokens off; root /opt/gitlab/embedded/service/gitlab-rails/public;
